I have the LG G6 Plus from amazon LGUS997U. Since there is no way to unlock the bootloader, at least there is a way to disable all amazon software. The following steps were used on LG G6 plus but should be the same for LG G6 US997 from amazon.
This is a step by step guide for all noobs out there like me. I received the phone November 22th and did not update the software so my device has android security patch October 1, 2017.
1. Download and install LG mobile driver on your PC (sorry, can not post outside url)
lg.com/us/lgeai/Drivers/pages/mobile-drivers.html
2. Download and install ADB on your PC https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/
3. On your phone, go to Settings and tap on About Phone. Find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable Developer Options.
4. Now enter Developer Options and find USB Debugging. Enable it.
5. Send a text message to your own number in order to have a notification and minimize amazon lock screen offers
6. Connect your phone to PC
7. Open ADB by double clicking "cmd-here.exe" and type "adb devices"
8. Now on your phone click ok to allow USB debugging
9. On adb type "adb shell"
10. Show the list of all amazon packages typing " pm list packages | grep 'amazon' "
11. At this point you should have a list of amazon packages and you can uninstall most of them with the following command
“pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>”
more detailed steps can be found on https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
11. The following packages can not be uninstalled
package: com.amazon.widgets
package: com.amazon.device.information.provider
package: com.amazon.phoenix
package: com.amazon.alphafirstrun
12. Disable all this packages using the following command pm disable-user --user 0 <name of package>
example
" pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.phoenix "
With this I do not see any ads on the lock screen of the phone even if rebooted. The only problem that I have is that you still have to double tap on the fingerprint reader in order to unlock the phone.
I hope it helps someone
Regards
EDITED
I am updating for those of you who after following the steps mention before ended up with a lockscreen wallpaper with ads.
13. Enable again the following packages
package: com.amazon.widgets
package: com.amazon.phoenix
example " pm enable com.amazon.phoenix "
14. Disconnect your phone from adb. You should have ads again on your lockscreen. Go to settings- lockscreen and select the wallpaper of your preference.
15. Send a text message (SMS) to your own number in order to have a notification and minimize amazon lock screen offers. Do not check the message we need the lockscreen minimized.
16. Enter again ADB and disable again the following packages
package: com.amazon.widgets
package: com.amazon.phoenix
example
" pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.phoenix "
At this point you should have remove any kind of ads on your lockscreen.
Unlock your phone with a single fingerprint tap
A. Remove any unlock security like Pattern, fingerprint or PIN etc.
B. Enable
package: com.amazon.widgets
package: com.amazon.phoenix
C. Disconnect your phone and lock and unlock your phone many times. You should see ads but they disappear.
D. Go to settings-Fingerprint & security and setup your fingerprint
E. Disable again
package: com.amazon.widgets
package: com.amazon.phoenix
Every time that you reboot your phone, you have to repeat the procedure again. Give it a try and hope it works for you.
UPDATE: Nevermind I figured it out and fixed it by enabling phoenix again and then disabling it after I set my screen lock back.
pm enable --user 0 com.amazon.phoenix
Thank you for the information. I was able to run the commands and the ads are gone as well as the package installs.
However, the lock wallpaper is the woman with a telescope "Discover your next favorite book" were you able to change yours or remove that?
You're a Godsend!
I just received a G6 from Amazon and I have to say I spent just about all day looking for ways to get rid of the ads. The discount is nice and all, and I use Amazon, but the ads are more of a hindrance than anything else. I'm glad I found your post. I just followed the steps and before long I was pleased with the results. This here southern boy loves technology, but I'm baffled with the "intricate beauty" of adb and whatnot, but I really like how you condensed it.
Once again, thank - you and much obliged!
Testing now.
Edit: Worked for me.

Same here. I thought mine had been cleared of ads including the lock screen until I rebooted and now I have just that one ad. Not a deal breaker, but still annoying.
Wish we could find a way to fingerprint unlock directly to Launcher instead of once to get the lock screen ad, then another press to get to Launcher.
Would uninstalling the com.amazon.phoenix package, as opposed to disabling it remove the issue with the "telescope woman wallpaper?"
probably cheaper to buy a used G6 on ebay than some hacked up amazon version IMO
Can't seem to do what you say at the end about the unlocking with just one tap
Just one quick question... When removing any unlock security like pattern or finger, were you connected to adb? Or you connect after that?
That's my question.
I've managed to remove the ads but I can't seem to achieve the unlocking with just one tap. thanks a lot in advance for the reply.

First you don't have to see any kind of ads.
When I removed the security I was not connected to adb.
After I enabled widgets and phoenix again, I disconnected the phone and Locked and unlocked the phone like 5 times, seems like the ads came back but they disappeared.
I have done this 3 times because when I reboot the phone, I lose the ability to unlock the phone with one single fingerprint touch.
Regards
Hi!, i have a problem, when i send the comand for example "lucye:/ $ pm disable-user --user 0 package:com.amazon.drive", the adb says "Failure [not installed for 0]"...
somebody can help me please?
This method has been patched by Amazon
But there is another way to disable ads on all models of Amazon Prime Enabled Phones. Instructions on YouTube: v=0DLoiIivAps
Is there any technical support at Amazon? How can I reach them?

The Asia LG-H870DSU has no wireless charging and B&O headphones.
Will disabling these interfere with updates? I notice Oreo had been released this month and my phone had gotten the update as yet
Whaaaaaat?!
Default advertisements on a lock screen? This is some next level buuulshiit, borderline harassment. Who on earth would buy that variant of the G6?
This is in no way patronizing, but I genuinely feel sorry for you. I'd rather have no phone at all if mine did that.
Glad OP found a way.

Got an Oppo R9s through aliexpress. First time it arrived the home button wouldn't work, neither the fingerprint scanning. After sending it back and waiting three months I got a working device, but seems to have malware on it.
The lock screen is filled with chinese pictures. Doesn't seem malicious, but I can't remove it. After resetting the device to factory settings it's the first thing that installs itself after giving it network access. The wallpaper option in settings doesn't work. More importantly, when I add a phone contact, the phone app crashes opening as well as the contacts app, which renders the phone completely useless, not being able to make a simple phone call. Also, simple mode doesn't work either.
So my guess this is a modified rom to have some malware always present and basic functionality is either removed or crippled. Following instructions to enter fastboot mode (volume up + power on) seem to enter an endless loop, so it looks like this option is disabled. Using volume down I'm able to enter a recovery mode, where it says it's version 1.2 (root), and allows me to select some rom for flashing.
Before trying to wade through all the threads regarding rooting and flashing, I was considering simply replacing the ColorOS rom with a clean one. However I'm unable to find any for R9s, is it that this model doesn't have one available? Even looking at the international Oppo forums they don't have any R9s download links. So I guess I have to spend some hours reading and fishing links from long threads like https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/oppo-r9s-rooting-t3496781 ?
The about info of the device says this is an Oppo R9s, ColorOS v3.0, Android 6.0.1, MSM8953 OctaCore, 4GB ram, build number R9s_91_A.28_191025, baseband version Q_V1_P14,Q_V1_P14, Kernel 3.18.24-G201710252140.

Are you trying to replace the ROM or just remove the Malware? I've never heard of this device before so I can't point you towards any ROMs, But I can certainly help you remove Malware embedded in the ROM.

I'm not interested in changing ROMs, just remove the malware that prevents normal device usage. That's why I was asking for links to ColorOS firmware, I presume reinstalling those would restore normal operation. However if that's not possible I'll take any non-malware ROM.
I followed the recommendation from http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=50113 to use "adb shell" commands and disable ROM programs, finally getting to remove the lock screen pictures. After a while of having the phone turned on, I heard a weird ping sound and then the touch screen stopped responding. It works fine, since I can power off swiping to the right on the off screen, or I can swipe down and play with the toggles, but the launcher and settings app don't seem to receive touches. So maybe I disabled something affecting the screen? I did run:
adb shell pm hide com.android.browser
adb shell pm hide com.android.contacts
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.usercenter
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.gamecenter
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.atlas
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.statistics.rom
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.launcher
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.market
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.music
adb shell pm hide com.sohu.imputmethod.sogouoem
adb shell pm hide com.redteamobile.roaming
adb shell pm hide com.redteamobile.virtual.softsim
adb shell pm hide com.coloros.lives
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.themespace
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.themespacelib
adb shell pm hide com.coloros.pictorial
Rebooting or recovery mode doesn't work, so I figured to install a ROM from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70366156&postcount=13 in recovery mode (where the touch screen works fine). After installation the "optimizing android apps" kept there forever, so I turned it off/on manually, and now I launch into the original launcher with a few chinese icons, but still the screen doesn't seem to work.
Touches work for the notifications and such, but nothing for the launcher or settings, so now I'm unable to turn on USB debugging to send adb shell commands. :crying:
You've disabled your launcher and a couple of required android services (Browser etc) Use adb again to sideload a new launcher too.

I did these after installing replacements, like that post explained. Chrome as browser, Google APKs for contacts/calendar, Novo launcher instead of stock… and everything seemed to be working fine.
I can't enable debugging on the device, adb commands don't seem to reach the device. I've never used sideload before, does it work even without debug mode enabled?

You can sideload an app via recovery by pushing it to /system/app
And then use adb shell chmod 644 "/system/app/APKNAME"

I can't due to adb not being able to connect to the device, since I can't put it in debug mode. When the device is in recovery mode I can't access it either, I only get "- waiting for device -"

Finally managed to flash a good original ROM on the device. Conveniently the chinese rom prevents running dangerous adb commands, but at least I seem to have gotten rid of the malware and I'm able to change desktop wallpapers and the lockscreen magazine

Just bought an OPPO R9S and was wondering you managed to flash the original ROM? I have the exact same issues that romfury had.
I have an issue with my M20P. I got the phone 12 days ago and everything was fine with notifications up until yesterday. As of right now, I am NOT receiving notifications for whatsapp, gmail,* FB, messanger on time. They're constantly late and usually show up only when I actually go into one of the apps, then the content shows up and syncs, I guess.
I decided to manually launch important apps such as gmail, messanger, whatsapp and I checked all 3 boxes (primary, secondary and background launch). And this morning, after some 9 hours of not touching the phone, I woke up and there were some notifications (quite a few actually) and I was happy thinking the issue's gone but I was curious why there were no messanger and gmail notifications (two of my most active apps) and* I was right... as soon as I entered gmail, the mail that I did NOT receive notification for came on top of queue and messanger literally blew with how many notifications came at once. Other apps, less important, followed with some notification.
I'm worried because I actually decided to manually launch apps I use the most and still, the issue persists, even though most of users had this sorted with manual launching...
So yes, manual launching did not fix it for me
Is there anything else I should do and what?
And also, I have found out that this has only happened thus far on WiFi, my home WiFi. Mobile data doesn't seem to be affected. Will have to confirm though. I don't know if that's an important information...
Please help. I don't wanna sell the phone because other than this bs I like it very much

That's the only fix available. You could unpack and decompile PowerGenie and see what's inside. A bunch of routines that try to identify apps that require being online, plus a bunch of hardcoded apps that are allowed to run in the background. That's Facebook and a bunch of Chinese apps. But everything else is being sent to sleep aggressively.
I tried every other setting available and still, the PowerGenie rendered any background app unusable.
You don't need to debug anything. Just turn on debugging, so you can disable PowerGenie. If you want to use your phone the way it is supposed to work, you have to get rid of PowerGenie. Using the ADB method is the only possible way I am afraid.

I appreciate the thorough report. Before I do that, I'll run some over night tests to see if this perhaps is just due to my WiFi. For example, I'll leave the phone over night with WiFi disabled and mobile data on. If I receive all the notifications at the time they should have been received - I'll know the issue is with my WiFi and I'll update it to static and use the pre-set DNSs I found online.
I'm guessing you had the same issue... did it only work for you when you disabled powergenie? Have you tried perhaps what I will - to see if it was a WiFi issue? Or did it happen to you on mobile data too?
And what I find EXTREMELY weird - I had P20 Pro like until 15 days ago, updated to EMUI 9 and it received all the notifications on time. Is this solely M20P issue?
My issue was the Blackberry mobile device management suite, my company uses. Those apps use Android for work, so a separate encrypted partition (and a different user id), open a VPN tunnel and fetch emails in the background.
I have tried every possible solution, like turning off startup control, enabling those apps to run in the background, even checked special permissions, tried different hacks, reset my device multiple times, ... . Nothing helped. The VPN tunnel was capped after a few minutes and even if I opened it manually (by starting the app), the email app was sent to sleep hence not receiving anything.
I started digging around and found a way to disable system-apps even when you cannot disable them from the Android menus. I pulled a copy and decompiled it. This PowerGenie app has routines to identify apps that have widgets, pull a lot of power, have notifications, ... . And it has a list of package names (Android apps) that are never sent to sleep. Stuff like Facebook and Chinese apps. As I started digging around I found this to be a commonly reported issue with Huawei smartphones of all flavours. I think they built that in to mask the fact that Kirin has a higher standby drain than Qualcomm and Samsung. I am just assuming that..
For me this definitely wasn't an issue with my WLAN, DNS or the likes. Now without the PowerGenie, when I turn off the flight mode in the morning, the VPN app is connecting automatically and my Blackberry Hub is pulling all emails. WhatsApp, Gmail, even third party calendar apps now show their notifications in time. So I am happy.
Did it have any influence on my battery life? no, not at all.
I did the same for a couple of colleagues having the same phone and issues and they all are very happy now.
My company even stopped supporting Huawei phones because of these issues.
I can't comment on the P20 unfortunately as this was my first Huawei. But maybe the fact that you were upgrading from Oreo to Pie was the difference here.

1) from your laptop
2) Follow the link, perform the steps in the tutorial below "How to Setup the Android Debug Bridge (ADB)".
Then scroll down to the part titled "Microsoft Windows ADB Setup". Download the file from the link and unpack to c:\adb (you will have to create the folder).
Then you connect your phone to your laptop and will see a prompt for authenticating your laptop. This is all well documented, just follow the link
3) On your laptop, start menu, run, cmd. Now you will see a console window. Just enter the commands below
Code:
c:\adb\platform-tools
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
The reboot should obiously be done on your phone.
Sounds complicated, but is really easy.

When I right click on "platform tools" it gives me several options such as "extract to a specified folder" and I clicked on that (I dont know if thats right) and what do I do now? I am confused with the steps provided in the link. "Extract the contents of this ZIP file into an easily accessible folder (such ad C:\adb)" I dont know where and how to do that
Then it says "Open Windows explorer and browse to where you extracted the contents of this ZIP File" what does this mean?
And 3rd step dont even get me started.
Could you by any chance upload a video of going through all that and doing everything needed up until running the command to.disable power genie? Im lost man

As much as I would like to help you, I think it would make more sense if you ask someone physically around you for help. I don't think I can make it more simple than that and explaining that in such a detail without knowing what system you have is quite complicated.... But I am sure that if you show the instructions to someone with a little bit more experience, it would be a lot simpler...
Sorry I cannot help you further...

Hey, I finally gave in and tried to do this but I am having so much trouble doing this mate. Could you please explain like you're talking to a child? My computer skills are abysmal. I downloaded these 2 links you said on my laptop. But I am stuck at step 2. Here are the screenshot to see where I got held up lol

When I right click on "platform tools" it gives me several options such as "extract to a specified folder" and I clicked on that (I dont know if thats right) and what do I do now? I am confused with the steps provided in the link. "Extract the contents of this ZIP file into an easily accessible folder (such ad C:\adb)" I dont know where and how to do that
Then it says "Open Windows explorer and browse to where you extracted the contents of this ZIP File" what does this mean?
And 3rd step dont even get me started.
Could you by any chance upload a video of going through all that and doing everything needed up until running the command to.disable power genie? Im lost man

1) from your laptop
2) Follow the link, perform the steps in the tutorial below "How to Setup the Android Debug Bridge (ADB)".
Then scroll down to the part titled "Microsoft Windows ADB Setup". Download the file from the link and unpack to c:\adb (you will have to create the folder).
Then you connect your phone to your laptop and will see a prompt for authenticating your laptop. This is all well documented, just follow the link
3) On your laptop, start menu, run, cmd. Now you will see a console window. Just enter the commands below
Code:
c:\adb\platform-tools
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
The reboot should obiously be done on your phone.
Sounds complicated, but is really easy.

Thanks to @AlaskaLinuxUser for posting the solution earlier this week (see the link below) I just wanted to add the solution here in case someone else found this post and was looking for a solution.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...overy-nabi-bigtab-hd-20-t3035372#post82928537
I found a simpler solution
I had the exact same issue (Fuhu servers shutdown, I didn't know this...performed a factory reset...locked out of tablet), but on a Nabi Elev-8 tablet (8" 1280x800, Octa-core Snapdragon processor, 32GB storage, NFC, Wifi, etc.).
I found a backdoor to get into the Android Settings menu, and enable developer options, and thus enable ADB. No TWRP/root required. With ADB, I was able to disable a bunch of Fuhu packages, which got around this problem, and got rid of a bunch of bloatware to boot. I posted this on stackoverflow, but cannot post a link. But here's the details in case it helps someone else:
Although the initial setup doesn't let you exit it, I found that if I hit the power button while in the WiFi setup, when I turn it back on it shows the Nabi lock screen. Rather than unlocking the tablet, you can actually get into the Android setup menu from the lock screen!
In there, I was able to enable developer options (yes!!!):
Settings -> About Tablet -> Tap on "Build number" over and over until it enables developer options
NOTE, tapping on other fields repeatedly also pulls up other hidden gems, like a hardware test, and an Android Easter Egg. Next, go to:
Settings -> Developer options
and enable "USB debugging"
Plug in your USB cable, and install "adb" (android debugger) on your PC. I'm using Arch Linux, so:
Code:
sudo pacman -S adb
did the trick. You might need to accept some RSA key security prompts on the tablet to connect to the PC. Now, onto the fun stuff...
The tablet is NOT rooted...so you can't remove any packages. However, you can disable them! I extracted a complete list of the "fuhu" packages, then tried disabling them one at a time. I found that by disabling most (except for a few exceptions) I was able to get rid of most of the bloatware, and kill the initial setup!
Use this command to launch an adb shell on the tablet:
Code:
adb shell
Then disable the packages with these commands:
Code:
pm hide com.fuhu.nabisystemupdatechecker
pm hide com.fuhu.nabimode
pm hide com.fuhu.nabipass
pm hide com.fuhu.nabi.systemupdate
pm hide com.fuhu.nabiintentmanager
pm hide com.fuhu.nabiui
pm hide com.fuhu.nabidreamtabus.download
pm hide com.fuhu.foozkids.webs.v2
pm hide com.fuhu.nabi.updater
pm hide com.fuhu.appzone.v2
pm hide com.fuhu.addapps.v2
pm hide com.fuhu.drmmanager
pm hide com.fuhu.nabiaccountmanager
pm hide com.fuhu.foozkids.videos.v2
pm hide com.fuhu.nabi.cloud
pm hide com.fuhu.nabi.radio
pm hide com.fuhu.foozkids.nabi.activity
pm hide com.fuhu.foozkids.crafts.v2
pm hide com.fuhu.foozkids.books.v2
pm hide com.fuhu.gallery
pm hide com.fuhu.dashboard
pm hide com.fuhu.timecontrol
pm hide com.fuhu.nabi_video
pm hide com.fuhu.nabi.chores
pm hide com.fuhu.nabiconnect
pm hide com.fuhu.wings.wooshu
pm hide com.fuhu.nabi.sync
pm hide com.fuhu.nabinotification
pm hide com.fuhu.nabidemosetup
pm hide com.fuhu.nabiWeb
pm hide com.fuhu.nabisnm
pm hide com.fuhu.foozkid.univ.v2
You no longer will have the parental controls (never used them anyway), but "Parent Mode" will still be there (you can't get rid of this...the Android UI crashes if you disable it). I got rid of all of the fuhu apps that didn't work, with the exception of "nabi Player" (some sort of media player)...I couldn't find its package. It just throws an error if you try to use it.
The tablet also throws a UI error when you do a cold boot. I just hit OK, and it works normally. All of the Android stuff works fine, including Play Store, Wifi, Chrome, etc.
If you want to see what packages are installed (but enabled), in the adb shell:
Code:
pm list packages
To include disabled packages:
Code:
pm list packages -u
In Linux/bash (outside of adb), to see a list of only disabled packages, you can use diff and grep:
Code:
diff <(adb shell pm list packages -u | grep -i fuhu) <(adb shell pm list packages | grep -i fuhu)
I hope this helps someone! I was able to unbrick my kids' tablets, and they also run a bit faster with a bunch of bloatware disabled.
For whoever needs to get past a factory-reset Fuhu BigTab (mine is a 24", but I don't imagine that the 20" is that much different), I have great news! Despite a lack of activity on this thread, there is still hope. I tried another approach to this problem. I tried sniffing the packets and found that the Big Tab 24 that was stuck trying to contact Fuhu's server was attempting to reach updates.fuhu.com. I set up a static entry in my Ubiquiti EdgeRouter so that any attempts to query updates.fuhu.com could actually resolve. In this case I had it resolve to an internal IP of 192.168.1.182 (my MacBook).
I was planning on further sniffing packets to see if I could "answer" the requests that the device was making of the update servers, but as it turned out I didn't have to. It seems that once updates.fuhu.com could resolve again, the previously greyed-out "Not Now" button lit up and I could escape the setup. I'll cut out the parts that led me to my conclusion, but here are the main points of what you need to do to get past this error:
The BigTab needs to be able to reach updates.fuhu.com. It doesn't necessarily need to talk to that server, but it needs to be able to resolve it via DNS. Find some way of making this happen. If you have a more capable firewall/router that you can define a static DNS entry on, do that. If not then you need to get more creative. I would recommend pihole and an inexpensive raspberry pi, or just run the pihole docker container to give you an easy-to-configure DNS server that you can point to in your DHCP config. The clients will query this server when trying to get anywhere on the internet. The bottom line is, when joined to your wifi, you should be able to ping updates.fuhu.com and get back some IP. I don't think it matters what this IP is, but it must resolve.
Once you can resolve updates.fuhu.com, power up the big tab and let it try to reach out to its update servers again. When it ultimately fails (which it will, the server isn't actually there) you will now see the rightmost-button "Not Now" is available. Tap "Not Now", and you will see that cheesy made-for-kids Fuhu launcher.
I legitimately hope this helps some people who, like I, thought they had bricked this lovely device (in my case, shortly after purchasing it second-hand). Good luck!
Shawn
One more thought--If you were able to get into the filesystem of this tablet, and could add a static entry to the hosts file on the tablet, then that should have the same effect with much less work. I was not able to get to the developer mode settings because I was prevented from doing so after I did a factory reset, but if you have a way to make this change 100% on the device itself it would greatly simplify the process.
I'm an actual dork--If you click on "Try Again" 5 times, the "Not Now" button becomes available. No need to do anything DNS-related. Hope this helps someone.

it helped me, I was 5 minutes away from throwing it into the bin
Ok lets first explain the situation
I've been dabbling with Tasker (Paid for version)- getting some automation depending on certain situations (mainly stuff like 'If I'm @ {location} get volumes set high' or ' If Unread msg then vibrate my Amazefit bip watch' - Nothing too complicated using variables / javascript etc)
One situation I want to attempt though is 'If Gpay app is started - turn on NFC, but when I leave the app - turn NFC off'
Now I already know there are 2 'main' ways I can turn on/off NFC in Tasker.. either use 'AutoInput plugin' or use 'Secure Settings'
- I've tried with Autoinput plugin but the problem is that with the free option, you need to watch an Ad every day to use it but of course I can pay for it (its only a couple of quid)
However you can't Install it & pay for it directly from within the plugin - you need to install yet another App (AutoApps) first - & although this one is free - I just don't like adding more bloat to my phone than necessary. Adding both the plugin & this additional App adds (although only a 'minor' amount) up to 20Mb
The other method is give Tasker 'Secure settings' permission
- So I read the 'What to do to give 'Write Secure Settings Permission' to Tasker' (enable Developer mode > Usb Debugging > Install ADB on PC etc etc) & it looks simple enough,
But (a loooong time ago) I tried other 'hacks' & it ended up disastrously (probably I did something wrong with missing a step or something) & I just want to make sure that it IS as simple as it seems and also ask how safe is it
for example
* If I type in the command in ADB - could something go wrong & could it crash/brick the phone ?
* Is this permanent - ie if I turn off/on phone or if I get an OTA update & phone restarts - will it stay, or will I have to repeat the ADB command each time ?
* Will this 'break' official OTA updates (whether security &/or Android firmware) - I once did a firmware update with a step that used ADB (IIRC) & it broke something that prevented any updates from happening
- official OR manual firmware updates
Any help/advice would be appreciated

ADB is the door to your phone's Android. It's a tool not meant to be used by John Doe. Wrongly used you can brick your phone. Hence it's by default disabled.
1. Yes, using ADB you can render your phone absolutely useless. If you e.g. enter
Code:
adb shell rm -rf /
then phone gets totally wiped ( really all gets destroyed, it gets naked ) - you can throw it into electric waste.
2. ADB commands aren't persistent, but their results may be.
3. ADB itself breaks nothing: it's a driver installed on your computer that let you access Android's files and launch Android executables.
Thanks for the reply
I doubt I'll use THAT command.
I forgot to mention what tasker's command is
adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Not 100% sure about your last comment though.
ADB allows access to android files so changing android files could break things, which I'm worried about especially with OTA updates etc. (my last phone stopped getting OTA updates when I rooted it despite using official firmware)
However IF I understand the above command all this does is tell the android operating system ('android') to only give the tasker app (which 'Real' name is 'net.dinglisch.android.taskerm') the rights ('permission') to access the required settings ('WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS') which the NFC on/off toggle is part of (settings >connected devices > connection preferences> nfc) & 'shouldn' t' affect any other files such as OTA (unless OTA is also part of secure setting?)
@Cannon_Foddr
As I can see you until now haven't understood what ADB is, how it works.
Same probably your understanding of what an OTA is.
Personally never would allow 3rd-party apps ( like Tasker ) to modify sensible system settings: Tasker isn't an open-source app, so you can't control what it does in the last run.
It's simply on you to decide whether Tasker is given that right, or not ...
Can't see why 'open-source' has to do with this
IMHO if Open-source - anyone can release similar apps with added extra hidden code that could spy's on you/steal info etc, but a 'closed sourced' app from a long running developer (tasker been around for 10yrs with over 1mil downloads) must mean people seem to trust him/them & if he was 'dodgy' surely he would've been caught out by now
Anyway the Bottom line seems to be
Safe route: pay for plugin & live with extra bloatware
Or
Risky route: give access to secure system resources, see what happens & keep fingers cross nothing does
Thanks for your replies.. I think I may have to sit down & have a long hard think which route I feel more comfortable with
I have been using Automate for about 4 months now. I granted it WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and I have not noticed any modifications in my system. Granted I may have not looked specifically for them but as far as braking the system or disruption of OTAs no issues so far

I assume you had to do something like Taskers command then to grant the secure settings
( "adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" )

Automate is straight forward, there is a toggle for "modify system settings" needed for some tasks to run and one you run the ADB command, it's done

Dude if anyone haven't connected the tab to the internet from the time of purchase, then more simple way is there. Don't connect the tab to the wifi instead skip in the startup setup, get to the homescreen of tab, then open settings & activate developer's option. from their activate usb debugging and use the same command as mentioned in adb cmd. and then you are free to connect with internet and use tab without knox getting into action. but you have to deactivate auto update from developers and system upate menu in settings. Soon i will put a youtube video for that!!! Njoy

yes its very helpful & i thank u for that. with that guide of you and @AddictedA1 , i was able to break my first tab, now i'm just xploring other ways! this method is same as yours, but since device was opened for the first time and it havent enrolled not once with knox, we can enter home tab screen easily, so we can bypass the initial steps and go to the cmd step directly. it's the same output in end!

But do you just want to remove the wallpaper and let the monitoring and stuff be as is?
Yes, I'm not sure I'll be restriction privacy access as we have a ID tag already to the device.
Though when ppl think they can somehow restrict privacy without using FBE on FDE rom that's highly unlikely.
Installation from Chrome does not work for me. Has this been patched? Because other FRP Removals had similar methods where you download a app in Chrome but none of them work cause of this.
